The "how-not-to" leadership book
There is a paradox in leadership: we can only succeed by knowing
failure. Every accomplished leader knows there are minefields of
failures that need to be navigated in order to succeed. Wouldn't it
be great to have the insights to help you prevent from making
avoidable mistakes? Unfortunately, in business talking about
mistakes can be taboo, and, at a certain level, learning from
failure is not an option. Weinzimmer and McConoughey speak frankly
about the things that are difficult to talk about - the
unvarnished truths necessary to become a successful leader.
* Based on a groundbreaking 7-year study of what almost 1000
managers across 21 industries really think about lessons from
failures
* Includes exclusive interview material from CEOs at a wide range
of organizations, including major firms such as Caterpillar,
Priceline.com, and Allstate; startups; and entrepreneurial small
businesses
* Drills down into failure to uncover the strategies that
aspiring leaders need in order to avoid the most damning leadership
mistakes: unbalanced orchestration, drama management, and reckless
vanity
Learning from the mistakes of others is a necessary part of the
journey of effective leadership, and this book offers an
indispensable guide to learning these powerful
lessons--without paying the price of failure.
